He knows Pokémon better than me.

Chapter 4236 Someone is targeting the power of waveguides!

Upon hearing Xiaoyou's question, the two heads of the Double Gas looked at each other, both showing a bewildered expression.

"Waaah?"

It didn't know the specific reason either.

The dense fog in the forest seemed to possess some strange power; it was as if high-level Pokémon would suffer some severe punishment once they crossed the river to the beginner area on the other side.

This is a psychological suppression; it makes one afraid to even try.

The power of this dense fog is far greater than that of its own "fog maker"!

Since Ash couldn't understand the language of Weezing, he even released Mr. Mime to translate for him.

"Bari~"

The Mr. Mime smiled warmly and skillfully operated his Rotom phone.

After listening, the two looked at each other.

Sure enough, something special is hidden in the Misty Forest!

Perhaps they are those two ancient gods in the form of giant wolves!

"By the way, I specifically searched quite a few places last time, but I didn't see anything strange."

Xiao You muttered to herself.

Then, the two stepped into the Misty Forest together.

We hadn't gone far inside when the light suddenly dimmed.

It was still broad daylight outside, but here it felt like dawn had just broken, the brightness had suddenly dropped, and everything looked gray and hazy.

Walking another ten meters or so, the fog began to rise, and the atmosphere instantly became much more eerie.

From time to time, you can still hear faint sounds in your ears.

"Waveguide power, activate!"

Ash's eyes narrowed, and a pale blue waveguide circle instantly expanded out, attempting to uncover the secrets of this forest.

just

The dense fog also seemed to weaken the waveguide power to some extent, reducing the perception effect and range by 90%.

The distance sensed by waveguide power is not as far as what the naked eye can see!

"Uh, as expected."

Ash twitched his lips and had no choice but to extinguish the blue aura in his eyes.

I have a feeling that someone is maliciously targeting his waveguide power!

In front of him, Yu and Weezing were still clearing the way and didn't notice Ash's little actions.

"Wa shi."

This time, the double-barreled gas didn't show much change in expression on its face—

Although it is now in the beginner area, it has been subdued by humans, and the strange sense of oppression of "no crossing the river" has disappeared.

"By the way, I haven't tried it yet."

Xiao You looked at the surrounding mist, suddenly had an idea, and raised her hand to give instructions:

"Use it to clear the dense fog!"

"Waaah—!"

The double gas tank sank, and both of its heads opened their mouths wide at the same time, taking a deep breath.

Speaking of other Pokémon, when they use the "Defog" move, they all make a specific gesture to neatly cut through the fog.

The dual-explosive gas is rather unusual.

Whoosh—!!

The two mouths, one large and one small, seemed to transform into two high-powered vacuum cleaners, vigorously sucking up the surrounding mist.

Within seconds, the surrounding area was completely evacuated, the dense fog was swallowed up, and finally turned into wisps of white smoke that drifted out from the chimney above the double-bomb gas tank.

My vision suddenly became clear.

Several wild Pokémon that had been lying still on the ground, sheltered by the fog and not worried about being seen, suddenly panicked.

Before long, they scattered and fled into the depths of the jungle.

"Greedy Chipmunk, Strong-jawed Chicken Mother Worm, Dream Eater"

Ash's gaze swept over them one by one, calling out their names.

They were indeed all low-level Pokémon, but besides those native to Galar, there were quite a few Pokémon from other regions as well. However, this clear view only lasted for less than 30 seconds before the fog rolled in from all sides again.

"Waaah—!"

"Waaaaah—!!"

He inhaled the double-gas several more times, until he was panting heavily, but the surrounding fog did not decrease.

The small area that had just been cleared was quickly filled back in, with thick fog continuing to accumulate.

"Forget it, double-shot gas, no need to try it."

In response, Xiaoyou helplessly shrugged at Xiaozhi, resigned to his fate and continued exploring.

Fortunately, the starting area on the east side of the river has a relatively simple route.

There is only one main road, which winds its way forward. The occasional side roads that branch off are shallow and you will soon find your way back, so there is no need to worry about getting lost.

On both sides are raised earthen slopes, completely blocked by dense forest, with virtually no space to pass through directly.

"Hiss~"

The double-gauge gas tank floated at the front, swayed its body, and gave a shout.

Although it cannot absorb the fog, it is still very familiar with its hometown, especially the river that separates the two.

Xiao Zhi followed behind, speaking slowly and deliberately:

"If there really is something special, it's probably on the other side of the river."

After all, even kids from Hualang Town can freely enter this newbie zone.

I reckon that guy Hop used to sneak in and explore quite a bit.

If something is truly hidden, it will be discovered as soon as you walk across the river; the only possible explanation is that it's on the other side.

"Ah."

Xiao nodded slightly, his expression gradually becoming serious.

As they went deeper into the relationship, she felt increasingly strange and repressed.

The last time I came here, I didn't feel this way at all.

Her eyes darted to the side, and her brows furrowed.

Could it be that we really have to bring Ash here to trigger the same scene as in the dream?

After walking for about ten minutes, we suddenly heard the sound of flowing water ahead.

The two were overjoyed and unconsciously quickened their pace.

But at the source of the sound of water, a small river was flowing slowly by, its waters calm and exceptionally clear.

Flowing northeastward—

Ash thought about the Galar map and the river he saw on the northwest side of the farmland when he passed through Harlem Town.

"Speaking of this river, it should flow directly into the lake in front of Sonia's house, right?"

He thought to himself, "This makes sense."

He remembered that there were quite a few wild barracudas in that lake, which would jump out of the water from time to time and looked very fierce.

The fog on both sides of the riverbank has thinned considerably.

Xiao Zhi peered into the river and, sure enough, occasionally spotted a slender, dark brown fish with stripes on its body.

As it swam past, it didn't forget to fiercely stick its head out of the river and bare its teeth at them in a show of defiance.

"It's not wide at all."

However, the river is only about two meters wide and it's not a rapid.

At this distance, you could probably jump over it with just a little more force, right?

This is especially true for Pokémon.

It seems there really is some force restraining them.

"Hiss~"

Double Gas took the lead, its body floating directly to the other side.

When she turned to look at them, her eyes couldn't help but crinkle into a smile.

It's been wanting to do this for a long time!

Now I can finally cross the river freely without any psychological burden! (End of Chapter)
